Well the thread on “Poems are rubbish” got me thinking about art in all its forms and I wondered…what pictures do you have in your home? And why?
Here are two of mine:
Janet Treby – InnocenceI have three of Janet Treby’s work, this was my first and hangs over my fireplace. It always surprises people when they first visit my home – even more so when I was still living alone! People don’t seem to expect a straight woman to have a nude female on her wall!
I used to see it in a gallery I passed every day on my way into work. The simplicity of the work, the capturing the flow of the female form, and the serenity called out to me. I always used to put a part of my annual bonus aside to buy something for myself that I would not normally buy – a true bonus. When I got my annual bonus that year I already knew what I was going to buy!
And in complete contrast, in my bedroom I have:
Beryl Cook – Nude on a LeapordskinGiven to me by a dear friend who is no longer with us, it always makes me smile and reminds me to not take myself or life too seriously :wink: :lol:
Love the first one jen.
The second one could be me after a couple of glasses of wine. :lol:
Personally I like alot of Monet’s paintings. Poppies being a fav.
my mother had a painting of a nude woman on our walls when i was kid , it was sooooooo embarrassing at the time
I have a few originals on my walls, but they’re so expensive, I don’t have many but I’d love to build up a portfolio of them! Being an anatomist I have ‘Proportions of Man’ in my loo!
I have an actual shipment label for the an Apollo lunar module framed and on my music room wall of which I’m very proud.
I have some cartoons by leonardo da vinci and michelangelo of the pieta….. they are quite big and in my hallway. I have a photograph entitled “man in a gas factory in athens” which is a black and white photo of a man in a shower which is phwoarrrrrr and i have a Thomas Leung and a Peter Kitchell, both limited edition posters which are modern art and wave like.
I love surrealist realism in contemporary art, and have been looking for a poster of a painting entitled “monk on a swing” for ages now as I really want a copy of it.
Another favourite of mine Michael Sowa, but I can only find post cards.
wood chip
Ha! easily the funniest thing I’ve seen all day.
Apart from the telly, my front room walls are solely adorned by Pollocks.
:) two of the funniest threads i’ve read for ages!
